Round One: Ice Water Tea, Open House, Values Round 

During the first round of recruitment (at larger schools, the first round of recruitment could last 1-2 days), each Potential New Member (PNM) will visit each chapter that the university offers on campus. PNMs will be greeted with a door song and get an opportunity to speak with members of each chapter. Parties last around 20 minutes.
